December 2011 Quarter Activities Report

Start of mining at Bibiani marks historic Quarter for Noble

Transition to gold producer almost complete, paving way for cashflow and next chapter of growth

Highlights

  • Mining begins at Bibiani following decision by Ghanaian Environmental Protection Agency to grant the Project an Environmental Permit

  • JORC resources upgraded to 2.26Moz, including 958,000oz in reserves

  • On-site assay laboratory begins operations, slashing turnaround times for results

  • Subsequent to end of the Quarter, dry commissioning of refurbished plant commenced

  • Production to ramp up to an annualised rate of 150,000oz

Noble Mineral Resources (ASX: NMG) is pleased to report that a successful December Quarter at its Bibiani Gold Project in Ghana, West Africa left the Company on the cusp of completing its transition to a world-class gold producer with substantial growth prospects.

A series of key achievements during the period culminated in the start of mining at Bibiani after the granting of an Environmental Permit by the Ghanaian Environmental Protection Agency.

This was soon followed, subsequent to the end of the Quarter, by the start of dry commissioning at the refurbished 3Mtpa plant at Bibiani.

Stockpiling ore on the ROM pad

These milestones mean Noble is now well on its way to ramping up production to an annualised rate of 150,000oz. This will generate substantial cashflow for the Company and enable it to push ahead with exploration at its other highly prospective Ghanaian gold projects, particularly Cape Three Points and Tumentu.

Resource and Reserve Upgrade

During the Quarter, the JORC resource and reserve estimates were upgraded at the Bibiani Project. This was the result of drilling at the Aheman, Grasshopper, Strauss and Walsh deposits. The total resource calculation for the Bibiani project rose from 1.98Moz to 2.26Moz, including the Bibiani Main Pit, Walsh to Grasshopper satellite pits and the historic tailings. Reserves were upgraded from 790,000oz to 958,000oz.

The satellite pits between Walsh and Grasshopper, which cover a 3km strike length and have relatively shallow mineralisation, have been the focus of Noble’s efforts due to their proximity to the treatment plant site. These satellite pits will provide mill feed for approximately the first two years and the waste is being used for lifting the tailings dam. There is also further potential from existing additional satellite pits, which are also in close proximity to the processing facility. The strategy of commencing production from the satellite pits allows Noble time to maximise the full resource potential of the Bibiani Main Pit area where exploration continues to develop resources not recognised by previous operators.

In addition, there are significant resources and reserves available in the historic tailings levees and dams. This will be the first source of low-cost mill feed upon start-up. The area of the oldest dams is planned to be the site for a waste dump for the main pit, which required the removal of the tailings.

Environmental Permit and Commencement of Mining

The Ghana Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) granted Noble an Environmental Permit on 9[th] November 2011.

The EPA Permit was a pre-requisite for a number of activities on the mine site. No earthworks, mining or processing plant operations were allowed to start before the permit was granted. Immediately after receiving the permit Noble started preparations at the satellite pits by prestripping waste and stockpiling ore on the extended Run of Mine (ROM) pad from the satellite pits and levee material. ROM stocks of levee material have been built up for processing plant commissioning and first gold production.

On-site Assay Laboratory Opened

The new assay laboratory on site at Bibiani was completed just before Christmas and commissioning commenced immediately. The laboratory, which is owned by Noble and operated by Performance Laboratories (PL), will slash the time taken to turn around assay results from up to five weeks to as little as 24 hours. This will enable Noble to accelerate drilling programs at Bibiani and calculate

revised resource and reserve estimates using these results sooner than would be the case under the system that had been used previously.

Once the new laboratory is operating at full capacity, the cost of a gold-only sample will be cut to about half the current price. PL has undertaken to return grade control samples within 24 hours and exploration samples within seven days. The contract contains penalty clauses which can be invoked if these deadlines are missed by substantial margins. There are also bonus clauses which apply if the deadlines are met consistently.

On-site assay laboratory is operational

The improved response times from the laboratory will allow Noble to plan holes and estimate resources in a much more timely fashion and will assist greatly in the maintenance of full-scale production going forward.

Exploration

Noble released two sets of drilling results during the quarter. They were from around the north and south ends of the Main Pit, Big Mug, Strauss and Elizabeth as well as infill drilling at the Strauss-Gap area.

Drilling results during the quarter include:

  • 3m at 25.91 g/t from 56m (including 1m at 73.55 g/t)

  • 2m at 14.15 g/t from 36m

  • 0.8m at 6.25 g/t from 127.6m

  • 2m at 6.00 g/t from 61m

  • 6m at 4.88 g/t from 25m (including 1m at 23.50 g/t)

South Hill

Strauss infill Strauss Strauss infill Elizabeth

  • 1m at 4.75 g/t from 11m Main Pit west wall

The hit at Elizabeth was especially interesting because it shows mineralisation is present and is of significant tenor. Infill drilling has been planned for this greenfields area as any material delineated there will be a completely new addition to the resource inventory.

The infill drilling at Strauss-Gap area confirmed the discrete nature of the mineralisation at Strauss, which has developed into seven different mineralised shears in the area of the old pit. There is also additional mineralisation outside of these shears that the higher definition grade-control drilling will stand a better chance of delineating. This is expected to lead to the same sorts of upgrades to the resource and reserve that have been enjoyed historically. The Anglo Ashanti annual site records between 1997 and 2005 report a minimum 19 per cent overcall from resource to mill at Bibiani, potentially enhancing the Bibiani project return.

Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting was held on 30[th] November 2011. All resolutions were passed.

Office Relocation

Noble Mineral Resources has relocated its Perth office to the South Shore Centre in South Perth. The full address is at the bottom of this announcement.

About Noble Mineral Resources Limited

Noble Mineral Resources Limited listed on the Australian Stock Exchange on 26th June 2008 with a focus on exploring for large-scale gold deposits in the world-class Ashanti Gold Belt in Ghana, West Africa. In November 2009, the Company entered into an agreement for the acquisition of the Bibiani Gold Mine , a project located in the Sefwi-Bibiani Gold Belt in Ghana, host to over 30 Million Ounces of gold. On July 20th 2010 the final Share Transfer Form was executed to consummate the purchase.

Noble’s other primary gold concessions are Exploration Licences at Cape Three Points, Brotet and Tumentu, which cover some 141.3km² and all are located within the world-class Ashanti Gold Belt in south western Ghana. Ghana is the second largest gold producer in Africa and is the 10th largest gold producing nation in the world, with annual production of approximately 2.9 Million Ounces. Noble’s on-going focus will be to expand the drilling program at Bibiani to target new shallow resources near the Bibiani Mine and adjacent tenements while still progressing the Cape Three Points, Brotet and Tumentu Concessions within the Southern extension of the Ashanti Gold Belt. Initial exploration at Cape Three Points will be targeted towards the Satin Mine Project and the Morrison Project , both of which lie in an area of historic underground gold exploration. Noble believes that there is significant potential for the delineation of additional high-grade gold mineralisation relating to the down-plunge and strike extension to these zones. When added to the potential now available at Bibiani it will place Noble in a strong position to achieve its goal in building Australia’s next major gold mining house.

The Company recognises the Bibiani , Cape Three Points, Brotet and Tumentu concessions are relatively under-explored, highly prospective projects and aims to rapidly redefine JORC-compliant resources for development.
